Abstract

Categorization systems are widely studied in psychology, sociology, and organization theory as information-structuring devices which are critical to decision-making processes. In the present paper, we introduce a sound and complete epistemic logic of categories and agents' categorical perception. The Kripke-style semantics of this logic is given in terms of data structures based on two domains: one domain representing objects (e.g. market products) and one domain representing the features of the objects which are relevant to the agents' decision-making. We use this framework to discuss and propose logic-based formalizations of some core concepts from psychological, sociological, and organizational research in categorization theory.

论范畴的认识论-逻辑理论
分类系统作为对决策过程至关重要的信息结构装置,在心理学、社会学和组织理论中得到了广泛的研究。在本文中,我们引入了一个健全的、完备的范畴认知逻辑和主体的范畴感知。该逻辑的kripke风格语义是基于两个域的数据结构给出的:一个域表示对象(例如市场产品),另一个域表示与代理决策相关的对象的特征。我们使用这个框架来讨论和提出一些基于逻辑的形式化的核心概念,这些概念来自心理学、社会学和分类理论中的组织研究。
